2023 Yann Bertrand Fleurie 'Phenix', Beaujolais, France Domaine Ichi the age of these vines

the age of these vines was from 13 to18 years at the time of harvest

the juice is fermented spontaneously and slowly (up to six months) with natural yeasts in mainly-used Burgundy barrels

The wine has more density and structure than the classic trio and would benefit from some longer cellaring

holds water well and ripens the fruit more slowly

Like the Terre de Vertus
